Breaded chicken cutlets, baked in the oven topped with arugula, tomatoes and balsamic.

Whenever I go to this Italian restaurant by my house, I'm always tempted to order the not-so-skinny version of this dish. There is something about breaded chicken topped with arugula that really strikes my fancy. This lightened up version is much more figure-friendly, and perfect to make with summer's ripe tomatoes.

I originally posted this recipe many moons ago, but I remade it today with some slight modifications to the original. Mom my was over for lunch today and told me it was wonderful. Hope you enjoy!

This was really good. Made it with baby spinach and a bag of baby mixed salad leaves. I also used the small chicken cutlets that you can buy now and served the kids just the chicken. Perfect for the whole family.

Gina this is one of my favorite recipes! I have made half a dozen times. My husband loooves it. I love 'torta de milanesa' but hold back on it for obvious reasons. Im so happy you have helped me be able to enjoy it again guilt free!

This looks absolutely AMAZING!!! What a perfect summer dinner. Might be nice with some grilled corn on the side.... You keep on coming up with the best recipes! THANK YOU!!!! I emailed this one to my mom.... my dad is growing his own heirloom tomatoes this year, so this would be a perfect dish!

A-MAY-ZING!!! Made this for dinner last night, I didn't have arugula so I used some chopped leaf lettuce. DH gave it a thumbs up which is rare for him with chicken. He took the leftover cutlets today as a sandwich. Thanks Gina!

I made this last weekend and I'm making it again tonight for my mom and sister. Quite simply, it was the most delicious meal I've ever made! I had gotten tomatoes, onions, arugula and basil from the farmers market, so everything was super fresh... the combination of flavors is amazing. Thank you, Gina, for this one... I will be making it regularly from now on!

Trying this tonight!!! I just started weight watchers this week and I am completely in love with your website, It is so helpful and after seeing some of the recipies my (Italian) husband has decided to try it too! Lets just say it's hard to get him away from all the pasta but with dishes like this it makes it 10x's easier. Thanks so much, you are literally a life saver!

I made these last night for dinner, great flavor and very satisfying...my husband ate 2 pieces! My only issue is that the breading never got crispy. It was soggy and fell off of the chicken. Do you have an suggestions how I can avoid this next time?

Ok,really stupid question. Gina, when you say slice the chicken in half lengthwise you mean slice it through the middle right? Like, make thinner pieces of chicken, correct? Not just cutting the chicken breast in half and pound it out, right? Just want to make sure I'm soing this right!! Looks so so good!

This was delicious Gina! I got it on the table quickly and it looked beautiful to boot! I served it alongside your savory sweet potatoes, which are now a staple in our home! Thank you so much for the fabulous recipes that are both healthy and tasty!

This is sooo good and is very delicious. I use caloriecount.com to analyze my recipes and when i put it in I got 269 per cutlet (without the salad on top). Did you do something different to get a lower number?

I've made this several times for guests. Everyone raves about it and the presentation is beautiful. I use Skinnytaste exclusively for all my recipes and tell everyone I know to do the same. Love you Gina!

The cutlets like great in the picture, but do the crumbs really adhere well to just lemon juice and oil? I would think they would fall off; I might try egg whites instead, and maybe toss the oil w/the crumbs instead.

I just made this and it was delicious! Mmmmmmmm! I like that it is healthier. To cut back on the oil I used liquid egg whites instead but it still was sooooooo tasty. Would make again. Going to try another chicken dish tomorrow. Healthy yet tasty!

This looks absolutely delish! Actually, I learned a little trick from my grandmother who taught me to add dry oats to my breadcrumb mixture for an even healthy version of breaded chicken! It's so yummy, and you use less breadcrumbs this way and get all the added nutrition from the oats. :)

I didnt know if anything could ever top your bruschetta chicken that is a weekly staple in our house! This may have done it, or at least is pretty equal!!! Thank you for another great recipe! We feel so healthy and happy after eating this

Not sure what happened. I made this tonight and nothing stuck to the chicken :-( the salad was good and had to improve on the chicken. Not sure what I could do different....suggestions? I have made recipes before from Skinnytaste and they have always worked out!
